Before being anointed as Prince of Wales by his mother in a televised ceremony at Caernarfon Castle in July 1969, when he was 20 years old, King Charles III spent time studying Welsh at university.
The queen assisted in wrapping robes around Charles’ shoulders and placing a coronet on his head during the lengthy investiture ceremony.
“I, Charles, Prince of Wales, do become your liege man of life and limb,” he swore fealty to his mother.
When Charles gave the title to his son Prince William after the Queen’s passing, nothing of the sort occurred.
Tuesday marked William and Catherine’s first trip to Wales since assuming the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.
When William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, passed away and his father, the former prince of Wales, became king, William inherited the title.
According to news reports, William had no intentions for “any form” of investiture at the time of the visit.
